FreshChoice

The first time I came in here was on Christmas Day when it first opened. I needed strawberry sauce for my famous Hungis Trifle that I was making for Christmas Day Dessert. I ran in and they had it, first tick. Because it is quite a new store, everything was clean and spaced out and well stocked. They only had a few staff on, being Christmas day and all, and they were all really happy and friendly, despite working on Christmas Day! The store always smells fantastic because of the bakery section, and they always have bread sales too. The only thing is, and maybe because it is not my regular supermarket, I can’t find stuff that easily. Like I never know exactly what aisle a particular thing is going to be in. I feel like it’s arranged oddly. But that’s the only fault I’ll give it. Plenty of parking right out front, and a great location if you’re on your way home on the main road in Glen Eden.

I pop in here for a shopping top up because I cannot tear myself away from my usual supermarket.
Here are a couple of great points about Fresh Choice Glen Eden.
1. Their bakery section is awesome, they have delicious artisan bread like Sourdough, whole grains, flat breads and a very tasty kumera bread. More often than not there is a trolly with yesterday’s bread on sale.
2. They have a nice deli range of meats like pursuit and gourmet salami and while it is pricey you cannot beat the quality and taste.
3. Fresh fruit and vegetables are fantastic here.
4. They have a comprehensive aisle of gluten free and organics.
Actually that is more than a couple of great points, this is a great supermarket with really friendly staff.
